McCain Camp Not Taking al Qaeda Endorsement Well

I should think the answer to this is obvious ... (0.00 / 0)

"What was absent from the call, oddly enough, was any discussion about why Al Qaeda might want McCain to win."

Most of us realize AQ wants McCain to win because the Bush administration has taken every step AQ has wanted us to take and then some, and they know McCain will do the same, or worse.   Their long-term strategy is impeccable, if one is objective, and we're far ahead of (their) schedule.  What they thought might take a couple of decades has taken less than one.  

They knew from the jump that our responses to 9/11 would be ham-fisted.  For every life lost on their side, they knew they would wind up with a massive net gain because they didn't have to lift a finger to recruit many, many times that number.  Meanwhile, we do exactly what they want -- garner more hatred throughout the world, spend ourselves into oblivion, break our morale.  You have to admire the simplicity and perfection of the plan.

I personally (0.00 / 0)

think either candidate would be a victory for al Qaeda. McCain would appear to simply be a bigger one.

I dunno .... (0.00 / 0)

McCain would most definitely serve their purposes better than a guy who gives every indication of being smart enough to employ every available method and not limit his tools to the military hammer.  

McCain has demonstrated he's one who thinks we can kill our way to "victory" ... just another arm-chair warrior who dismisses the lessons of history of folks having tried all this decades ago with far, far more troops and a much smaller populace.

Well (0.00 / 0)

yes, McCain as it stands is the bigger victory for AQ. However, until we drastically change course from our foreign policy of the last 17 years, then every candidate is a victory for AQ.

That basically (0.00 / 0)

means we need to cut the global village bullshit and start doing whatever it takes to look out for our own national security. No more entangling alliances, no more Free Trade Organizations, no more internationalism. And while we are at it, no more nation building. I can think of a perfectly sensible reason why we should not nation build. Now, that does not mean that we become isolationists. It does mean that we look out for our own vital interests.

Just got the "Rapid Response Team" reaction on CNN-Sit Room to the AQ (0.00 / 0)

endorsement of McCain.

They brought out Fran Townsend to 'splain it. Also, had on Olivia Nasr from CNN International to say that the AQ web site was a 'low level' operative.

Move right on down the road, nothing to see here.

Right now McVeto is on claiming that he will veto ALL those spending bills. Guess he figured out that his 'line item veto' of pork barrels earlier campaign promise has already been declared unconstitutional. But he also 'splained why he voted for all of Bushcos spending---"He had to"...

Hilarious... (0.00 / 0)

In an endorsement that will not be welcomed by Mr McCain's flagging campaign, the group said that if al-Qaeda wants to exhaust the USmilitarily and economically, the "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate is the better choice.

"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said.

"Then, al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."

"If al-Qaeda carries out a big operation against American interests," it said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."
